Bonne Esperance Villa Experience
Nice guesthouse, friendly people, super experience. We booked the villa. What a enormous space. We were with 6 persons and had all the privacy in the world.

Excellent
This is the second time that I've stayed at this hotel and everything has been wonderful. It's a quiet neighborhood across the street from the Botanical Garden, yet it's a five minute walk into the center of Stellenbosch. The property itself is a comfortable B&B with every detail considered, but overall it's the staff who make every stay there a memorable one
